Mother's Day is this weekend, and while I have the Mom's in my life covered, there is one more I can't forget...my best friend, who is second mother to my own children. I wanted to make her a tag, and with all the challenges out there, I decided to combine four of them for this tag. At Hels Sheridan's Sunday Stamper, the challenge is "browns & blues" (I used the new Peacock Feathers Distress Ink). At Linda Ledbetter's Compendium of Curiosities II Challenge, the technique is "faded layers". Sarah Engels-Greer's Mojo Monthly challenge is "floral frenzy". And then of course there is the "celebrating Mom" challenge at Lisa Somerville's Blogger's Challenge.

I hope your hands get creatively dirty soon!
Anita, it's a magical creation you've designed here. The colors are so earthy and relaxing and the metal flowers, beautiful. I love the water drops in the background!

ReplyDeleteOh Anita, this is absolutely beautiful! I love the background and the flowers are fantastic - love the metal and the lush texture. Loving those butterflies too - they look just like they are about to take off and fly into the blue!
ReplyDeleteHi Anita this is a gorgeous tag. I love the various techniques you used to create the background. Butterflies and flowers brilliant.
